Hello,
I am doing some performance analysis for one of our sites.
In the Nginx access_log, I record the $request_time and the
$upstream_response_time.
While looking at these logs I can see that sometimes these numbers have
a fairly large delta.
For example one request's request_time is 1.553 while the
upstream_response_time is 0.864.
What are some of the potential causes for this large delta and is there
anything I can do about it?
A few reasons I can think of may be:
* The requester is on a slow internet connection : Not much I can do
about that
* Nginx is getting too many requests : Add more workers and or more
Nginx servers
Thanks,
Zev
